why bottled water and toilet paper?
I certainly don't think there's a need to stock up, but if someone is going to stock up, are you really questioning why bottled water and TP?

People freaking out for no reason and not even stopping to realize they could have this stuff at their door in 2 days from Amazon.

Assuming there’s anybody left to deliver it.

I’m talking about right now. Clearly there are people to deliver it. Instead these idiots are running from place to place trying to stock up when you could have it all brought to you.

Only to keep your germs from getting out. Most experts are saying a mask isnt going to keep you from getting it and will actually likely increase your chances because you touch your face more.

Yeah, but you can't make a dramatic Facebook about it if you just have it delivered by Amazon.

The toilet paper I understand, but do people really think the water's going to quit working?

TP absolutely makes sense. I would prioritize charcoal and gas for the grills before plastic water...I don't think most would think that pragmatically. Bleach wipes seem to be something the preppers will make a run on. I've already stocked up on pills. I might need to evaluate my current beer situation though.

More worried about bourbon stock than water.

I saw a friend on FB’s wife had stocked
Up on tampons and pads. Apparently there is a real fear of being without those and he has a few females in the house.

It’s never occurred to me prepare for this in any sort of way.

Water treatment plants don't run themselves. They need humans, and humans get sick.



They have more than one human capable of working it right? If so I think the water treatment plans should be able to manage just fine.

Good luck finding Lysol, germ X, or other cleaners.

I wouldn’t doubt it if this was made by the shareholders (wonder how many shares of each China owns) to promote hysteria and get there products sold out.

I got 7 cases of Diet Coke, a 24 pack of TP and a carton of smokes.


I'm ready.
